How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

5 terms
Fully taxable equivalent (FTE) financial
"Fully taxable equivalent (FTE)"
A fully taxable equivalent (FTE) converts income that is exempt from federal income tax—most commonly municipal bond interest—into the pretax yield a taxable investment would need to produce to match that tax-exempt income. It is calculated by dividing the tax-exempt yield by (1 − marginal tax rate), or by adding back the tax benefit when adjusting portfolio or bank interest figures; the conversion depends on the assumed marginal tax rate and does not account for state or alternative minimum tax differences.
allowance for credit losses (ACL) financial
"allowance for credit losses (ACL) to total loans was 1.73%"
Allowance for credit losses (ACL) is an accounting reserve banks and lenders set aside to cover loans and other receivables that may not be repaid. Think of it as a cushion or rainy-day fund that reduces reported assets to reflect expected losses; when the cushion grows, it can signal rising borrower trouble or more conservative accounting, and when it shrinks, it may boost reported profits and capital. Investors watch ACL to judge a lender’s risk exposure, earnings quality, and capital strength.
non-performing assets financial
"Non-performing assets of $79.0 million"
Loans or other credit exposures that are not producing expected income because borrowers have stopped making scheduled payments for a significant period (commonly around 90 days). Think of it like a business lending money that has gone quiet — the cash flow stops while the lender still carries the debt on its books. High levels of non-performing assets matter to investors because they reduce a lender’s earnings, tie up capital that could be used for growth, and signal higher risk of future losses.
net interest margin financial
"net interest margin was 4.16%"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.

Investments decreased by $163.1 million and $222.9 million for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and ended the quarter with a balance of $1.63 billion or 16.4% of total assets. Quarterly average earning assets to quarterly total average assets was 92.0% on September 30, 2026, compared to 91.8% on September 30, 2025. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 87.8% on September 30, 2026, as compared to 84.1% on September 30, 2025. The Company did not utilize brokered deposits during 2026 or 2025 and continues to rely on organic deposit customers to fund cash flow timing differences.
Total shareholders' equity decreased by $15.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, as net income of $38.0 million was offset by a $42.6 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive losses and $11.5 million in cash dividends paid on common stock. As a result, the Company’s book value decreased to $41.56 per share at September 30, 2026, compared to $42.03 at June 30, 2026. The Company’s tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP measure, calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity and dividing that sum by total shares outstanding, was $31.93 per share at September 30, 2026, as compared to $32.40 at June 30, 2026.

Loans outstanding increased by $99.1 million or 5.4% on an annualized basis during the quarter ended September 30, 2026. During the quarter, gross loan originations/draws totaled approximately $496.0 million while gross payoffs/repayments of loans totaled $410.8 million, which compares to gross originations/draws and gross payoffs/repayments during the trailing quarter ended of $632.9 million and $412.8 million, respectively. Origination and repayment volumes returned to levels consistent with recent periods, following an outlier quarter of elevated originations.
Investment security balances decreased $163.1 million or 36.3% on an annualized basis during the quarter as a result of prepayments / maturities of $131.8 million and net decreases in the market value of securities of $60.5 million, partially offset by purchases totaling $29.2 million. Investment security purchases were comprised of fixed rate agency mortgage-backed securities. While management intends to primarily utilize cash flows from the investment security portfolio and organic deposit growth to support loan growth, excess liquidity will be utilized for purchases of investment securities to support net interest income growth and net interest margin expansion.
Deposit balances increased by $74.6 million or 3.6% annualized during the period, inclusive of $68.8 million in one-way sell activity outstanding at June 30, 2026, which was returned to the Company's balance sheet during the current quarter. There were no deposits sold as of September 30, 2026 or the same quarter of the prior year.

The ACL was $128.2 million or 1.73% of total loans as of September 30, 2026. The reversal of credit losses on loans totaling $1.7 million was driven by a $1.3 million reduction in loss reserves associated with individually evaluated loans, with the balance of the reversal driven by improvements in risk ratings and general economic forecast data attributed to collectively evaluated loan pools, net of $0.3 million in net charge-offs.
The decrease in allowance for credit losses required on individually analyzed loans is largely attributed to the improvement in collateral values, including borrowers who have provided additional collateral, across several credits. Meanwhile, the reversal in collective reserves, despite an overall increase in net loan balances of approximately $99.1 million during the quarter, was primarily attributed to improved delinquency rates and risk grades across the commercial real estate portfolio. Additionally, Management notes that economic indicators through the end of the current quarter, as well as actual and forecasted trends including, but not limited to, unemployment, gross domestic product, and corporate borrowing rates remained supportive of general economic expansion, and a slight improvement from the period ended June 30, 2026, which is aligned with the Company's direct experiences with borrowers.
Management believes the provisioning for individually analyzed relationships is sufficient relative to expected future losses, if any. The Company continues to work closely with these largely cooperative borrowers and is diligently monitoring for any further changes in financial conditions. The net charge-offs incurred during the quarter were spread amongst numerous borrowers and loan types.

The ratio of classified loans to total loans of 1.76% as of September 30, 2026, was a decrease of 17 basis points from June 30, 2026, and 12 basis points from the comparative quarter ended 2025. The change in classified loans outstanding as compared to the trailing quarter represented a decrease of approximately $10.2 million.
Loans past due 30 days or more decreased by $3.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, to $46.2 million, as compared to $49.6 million at June 30, 2026. The majority of loans identified as past due are well-secured by collateral, and approximately $27.5 million are less than 90 days delinquent.
Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.79% on September 30, 2026, as compared to 0.76% as of June 30, 2026, and 0.72% on September 30, 2025. Non-performing loans increased nominally during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, to $69.6 million as compared to $68.8 million at June 30, 2026. The credit and collateral profiles of non-performing loans remain generally consistent with the trailing quarter. As noted previously, management continues to proactively work with these borrowers to identify actionable and appropriate resolution strategies which are customary for the industries. Management anticipates that these proactive strategies, specifically within agricultural real estate secured and agricultural commercial loans, will further benefit from the continued improvement in agricultural commodity prices, stable water supply, and growing crop demand. Of the $69.6 million loans designated as non-performing as of September 30, 2026, approximately $45.0 million are current or less than 30 days past due with respect to payments required under their existing loan agreements.
Management continues to proactively assess the repayment capacity of borrowers that will be subject to rate resets in the near term. To date this analysis as well as management's observations of loans that have experienced a rate reset, have resulted in an insignificant need to provide concessions to borrowers.

In addition to the allowance for credit losses above, the Company has acquired various performing loans whose fair value as of the acquisition date was determined to be less than the principal balance owed on those loans. This difference represents the collective discount of credit, interest rate and liquidity measurements, which are expected to be amortized over the life of the loans. As of September 30, 2026, the unamortized discount associated with acquired loans totaled $11.4 million, which, when combined with the total allowance for credit losses above, represents 2.00% of total loans.

Other income during the three months ended September 30, 2026 increased by $1.6 million, largely attributed to death benefit insurance proceeds totaling $2.2 million as compared to $0.6 million during the trailing quarter.

Outside of the insurance proceeds referenced above, non-interest income line items saw modest yet broadly favorable movement during the quarter. During the comparative period ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a gain in other income of approximately $2.5 million tied to the early retirement of $59.9 million in subordinated debt, along with losses on investment securities sales of approximately $2.1 million — neither of which recurred in the current period.

Service charges and customer fees in the 2026 period drove an increase of $1.4 million. Further, elevated activity and volume of assets under management resulted in an increase of $0.8 million or 16.0% in related income. The remaining notable fluctuations are attributable to the previously noted non-recurring items associated with the retirement of subordinated debt and the sale of investment securities.

Total non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, increased $3.6 million or 5.7% to $66.5 million as compared to $62.9 million during the trailing quarter ended June 30, 2026. The increase is largely attributed to merger and acquisitions costs related to First Hawaiian, Inc. totaling $3.9 million during the quarter. Excluding the merger expenses, changes in other non-interest expense line items were mixed during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, but essentially flat and due to timing differences.

Excluding those items and the $4.7 million in merger expenses, changes in other non-interest expense line items were mixed during the nine months period ended September 30, 2026, but essentially flat and due to timing differences.
Provision for Income Taxes | ||
The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, as compared to 26.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and 26.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Differences between the Company's effective tax rate and applicable federal and state blended statutory rate of approximately 29.6% are due to the proportion of non-taxable revenues, non-deductible expenses, and benefits from tax credits as compared to the levels of pre-tax earnings.

TriCo Bancshares—Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited) | ||
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this press release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company's core operations reflected in the current quarter's results and facilitate the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP. Where applicable, comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures is also presented. Because not all companies use the same calculations, our presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables below:

Forward-Looking Statements | ||
The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and beliefs of the Company ("TriCo") concerning future developments and their potential effects on TriCo. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of TriCo. TriCo cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in general economic, political, or industry conditions, and in conditions impacting the banking industry specifically; uncertainty in U.S. fiscal, monetary and trade policy, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board or the effects of any declines in housing and commercial real estate prices, high or increasing unemployment rates, continued or renewed inflation, the impact of proposed or imposed tariffs by the U.S. government or retaliatory tariffs proposed or imposed by U.S. trading partners that could have an adverse impact on customers or any recession or slowdown in economic growth particularly in the markets in which TriCo and FHI conduct business, including California, Hawaii, Guam and Saipan; volatility and disruptions in global capital and credit markets; the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks on general investor sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks; changes in interest rates that could significantly reduce net interest income and negatively affect asset yields and valuations and funding sources, including impacts on prepayment speeds; competitive pressures among financial institutions and nontraditional providers of financial services, including on product pricing and services; concentrations within TriCo's or FHI’s loan portfolio (including commercial real estate loans) or other asset classes, and the parties’ ability to attract and retain customer deposits, large loans to certain borrowers, access liquidity and capital, and manage deposit costs and funding sources; the success, impact, and timing of TriCo's and FHI’s respective business strategies, including market acceptance of any new products or services and TriCo's and FHI’s ability to successfully implement strategic, operational, technology and integration initiatives; the failure to properly use and protect customer and employee information and data; cybersecurity risks (such as TriCo's 2023 cyber security ransomware incident), including the occurrence of fraudulent activity or a material breach of, or disruption to, the security of FHI’s, TriCo’s or their vendors’ systems; risks related to the development, implementation, use and management of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies; the effects of failures or interruptions of information, communications or third-party service-provider systems; the nature, extent, timing, and results of governmental actions, examinations, reviews, reforms, regulations, and interpretations; changes in laws or regulations; adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events such as wildfires; the challenges of attracting, integrating and retaining key employees, especially while the Transaction is pending; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the merger agreement to which TriCo and FHI are parties;
